Story behind the song
The composition is in Spanish. An English translation follows:
Lyrics
It goes against my interest to confess it; But I, my love, Think as you do that an ode is good only When written on the back of a bank note. No doubt some fool hearing that remark Will cross himself and say: “Women, of course, of the ninetheenth century, materialistic and prosaic…” Nonsense! Like tales that tell us that four poets Kept themselves warm in winter with a lyre! Bayings of dogs at the moon! You know and I know that in this life, With genius, it is very seldom that one writes, And with gold, anyone can make poetry. (1868)
